Evening all
Got an email from a prison we do work at who said they have been told that any circuits that contain emergency lights need to periodically tested every 3 years on top of the 5 yearly test.
I have looked through the IET but cant see any info on it? Can anyone point me in the right...
Hi Guys.
Just hoping someone can give me some advice on what to expect after coming back to the UK (now in Cornwall) was in Australia for 18 years.
I`m fully qualified but understand I now have to take the 18th edition regs , construction card etc . I have a JIB registration card but its...
So, I've been told once uhave achieved your 18th edition and completed your 2391-52 which gives u an NVQ level 3,
That u can apply for a Golf card in testing and inspection.
So no need to spend 3 years in college anymore.
Surely this cant be true?
So I just got let go from my job last week as operations manager was in the role for 6 months, previously I was a transport supervisor at different company for 1 year pay averaging at 25k lot of responsibilities zero recognition.

Hello. My names ryan been doing electrics now for about 5 years.
Put myself through college. Got level 2 and 3 under my belt and currently on my NVQ. However I’m struggling to determine what photos I actually need. I’m doing it with xs training.

I didn't fail any exams or anything but when I've looked over my certs I can't see my 17th edition. Does anyone know if I would have got this in with the 2 years I done at college or is it seperate? I've tried calling the college numerous times but it just keeps ringing out. If anyone can give...
An interesting report.
I'm in favour. My own opinion is that ten years between inspection and testing of domestic installations is too long, and that this period should be reduced to five years. I particularly like the proposal that an EICR be compulsory whenever there is a change of occupancy...
Just a quick hello....

Hi all,
At the ripe age of 32 I’ve recently had some crazy ideas floating around in the old noggin... after 14 years of experience in the industrial, commercial and domestic side of electrical install...I’m considering a sidestep to industrial maintenance.
I’ve had my limited company for 9...

One of my neighbours has just had an electric door fitted. The fitted commented that the garage didn't have an earth .... so I have just had a look
Sure enough 2 core SWA runs from a SFCU in the lounge (not glanded to the back box) out to the garage where the SWA is glanded to the back box.
SO...
Been asked to advise on a rewire. I think on age alone it's advisable but the following points add to the argument.
Installation age approx 60 years.
This is a "forever Home" so although it may test ok how long will it stay so?
Black T&E throughout. Not a reason to condemn alone but adds to...
I am currently finishing my level 3 2365 at college. I currently live in London but will be moving to Banbury, Oxfordshire in December. I completed my 17th edition in February and have 3 years experience in domestic electrical work. I’m willing to undertake any aspect of electrical work. Also...
